Wow what a letdown. I would say this is a kids game but the third level has you building a torture device to shock punch and laser a cute midget pony. What the hell! This game is nothing like crazy machines 3 or any of them. Basically they have built the machine and give you a box to the right with a few parts. Worst part is how easy the parts are to put correctly. They snap into place so a level can litterally be over in 5 seconds. The rest is filler where things do stuff and you... Or crazy proffesor talk. The sandbox mode is not a sandbox mode and they shouldnt call it that. The levels they refer to basically are toy rooms. Pick up basketball throw it into hoop. Smack this ect. Also very boring. I feel the trailor made it seem like you built the machine or put parts and connect them like the old games. Nope. Just snap into place and done. Sorry devs but bad design choice. Id urge anyone to buy fantastic contraption or modbox instead. Theres also a game coming out that lets you build...

About This Game
With the help of a teapot we nudge the anvil from the shelf, it hits the fridge, the door opens, a egg rolls out, drops into to pan, it tilts and hits the rocket's launch button which takes off and hits the cloning device and it's done! Heureka! The brilliant chain reaction is completed!
Thereupon the machine is starting to clone like crazy and finally it spits out one tasty sandwich after another.
Sounds exiting? That was nothing! It's just a usual start of day for the assistant of the wacky Professor in Crazy Machines.
But now your days as poorly paid assistant in FRONT of the PC monitor are finally over!
From now on you take the matter into your own hands!
Right in the very center of the machine!
In the Virtual Reality!
And for the very first time ever: As the Crazy Professor himself!
One day you receive a mysterious package. Its content is radiating a strange kind of energy. By opening the package with help of a unnecessary complicated machinery you unleash a unforeseen wacky chain of events.
Go on an incredible and ludicrous journey across unexplored dimensions and fascinating worlds - you can even dive into the chaotic mind of the professor!
Make your head spin with wacky physical puzzles!
And if the laser gun drops into the toilet 10 times in row instead of lighting the fuse... Then you probably have to re-arrange some machine parts.
Otherwise you can also try to get some helpful hints from your extremely grumpy assistant-bot!
Or you can relax your grey cells in the completely brand-new sandbox rooms. In there you can burst colored balloons, smack up a rebellious dummy and clone some proper boxing gloves for that as well!

As somebody who loves crazy machines, i cant really reccomend this title. The puzzles involve you taking a number of parts and placing them in predetermined locations. Because the locations are predetermined, there's very little thought involved in their placement. I found myself spending more time listening/watching cutscenes rather than actually solving puzzles.
What a lovely game. There is even a story to go with it (it is really odd, but in a nice way). The machines look beautiful in VR, and the learning curve is great so far.
Just jumped out to write this review- if you're even kinda maybe interested in this game, don't think, just go for it! So far, this has been everything I was hoping for out of a game like this, and then some. There's even a friggin' story/narration to go along with the stages! Maybe it's just because of the narrator's voice and demeanor, but it's got a Stanley Parable feel to it so far (in that the announcer discusses ridiculous sounding things in a very matter-of-fact voice).
I recommend this on sale if you like these kinds of games. I'm at about level 10, and it seems easy so far, but there are 40-something levels. The machines are mostly already built, and you add parts in predetermined marked places, which is kind of unfortunate, but I get why they did that in a 3D game like this. The graphics are nice, but I'm getting some reprojection in my hands. This game needs to go lower than 200% SS. I tried the beta Steam VR with motion smoothing, and that didn't help. Grip is used to pick up objects, but I think the devs should make trigger work too. I was able to make trigger work by changing the controls in Steam VR settings so that trigger acted as a grip button. Also, the fingers pass through objects, and it seems like only the palm can trigger buttons and such. That should be fixed. Edit: I'm in the 20s levels now, and they're hard enough that I sometimes need hints to beat them.
This is now my favourite game in VR! If you love head scratching puzzles and VR...then buy this immediately!!!! I was a bit hesitant after reading some of the reviews but it is truly awesome. I didn't even want to leave the game to write this review but I wanted to make sure everyone knows how good this game is. Let me tell you why. The graphics are top notch. I love the attention to detail. The little paint scratches on items, so much work has been put into even the smallest details. The sound is good but the music is the best part. It's relaxing and keeps you interested. They even have a few tunes from the old Crazy Machine 3 game. The physics are great. They are very occasionally slightly random but on a re-run on the machine, it is fine and never a problem. I love the hint system. In reading the other reviews people are saying how easy the levels are, but that is just the early levels. The later levels get a lot harder and now even I find myself using the occasional hint. I am g...
I remember long hours of fun in first The Incredible Machines, then Crazy Machines. It was great, putting tools in different places, trying to solve the puzzle, sometimes even in a very weird way, when a pixel mattered. This game is absolutely not like these were. Instead of giving player some freedom with putting the machine together, you can only snap certain parts to predetermined places. It feels more like a children shape box rather than Crazy Machines game. I'm terribly disappointed.
+ It's Crazy Machines in VR! + The Fun puzzles you remember from your 3.1 Days, now in fully rendered 3d! + Unique + Price For Content - A little short - A lot of the puzzles are a little too easy 3/5 Nostalgia Trip from the DOS days hits VR with an interesting game. If you like quirky puzzle games about physics these guys basically made the genre. I'd definitely say it's a nicely executed concept.

This cant even be called a game these no choice like mentioned before this has nothing to do with the previous titles.
I'm hoping I can still qualify for a refund for this, I've been in hospital and may have missed my window. I was a huge fan of TIM and similar games as a kid, and really wanted to love this as much, but it's just... it doesn't play well on my PC for some reason (extremely jittery tracking, where all my other VR other games play fine) which makes me feel quite sick. The level where you have to torture a pony thing did it for me, though. I *tried* to continue, but the puzzles are boring, the story is a little on the side of bad taste, and the jittery tracking just sealed it, really. I think I'll stick to the old 90's physics puzzle games in future.
